User reviews
I really dig the buttons on the YouTube player but I’m not a fan of the shortcut hotkeys (Ctrl + ← or →) taking over the normal function of moving between words in a text field. Thankfully, you have the option to disable those shortcut hotkeys, but they should have used different keys.
I like the app but...
When using the new controls provided by this extension, and then sliding the mouse up to the progress bar, a red circle with a 45-degree diagonal line (known as the 'no symbol') appears and blocks access to the progress bar.
Anyone else having this issue?
